Something like "Not like what happened in Pittsburgh with the > >knife, Coop?" BOB seems to be familiar with his rival or pursuer (Cooer) This strikes me as more the bully attitude -- deliberately calling someone by a nickname that only their closest friends would use. It's an attempt to put you in the same camp with the bulley, an insult by saying "I reject your rejection; see how close we are?" In some sense it might be kinship. My newest theory: is the MFAP *Coopers* intended match? My wife points out that there were numerous occasions when Bob appeared without displacing someone, so his appearance is not necessarily a link to Truman. Similarly the giant displaced the singer when it's clear he's associated with SDCTWMDRSW. So let's not leap to conclusions. Yet. On a slightly different topic, an excruciating pun follows. Clearly the Log Ladys husband is in the log. Josie is in the nightstand. The Log Lady carries the log around. Cooper will undoubtably become attached to the nightstand. Thus he will still be getting into her drawers. -- "Perl is the BASIC of UNIX." -- Tom Christiansen
